Unfortunately that happens alot here a pair should be ok in 170 just have alot of hiding spots and be aure to remove anything you dont want to be killed once you see a pair forming aggression will increase ten fold once a pair forms

It will be a risk doing so even in the 170g however it is plenty enough space for a pair. Also it is pretty sad that people are responding at all with out reading his entire first post which clearly said he wasnt doing this in a 55g "guppy" tank. Your best bet would be to find a 90g tank to let your devil have to itself, or give her the entire 170g if your willing.
A Red Devil is ,99% of the time, a solitary fish and will not work with others. Even pairs are hard to keep with success.
Oh, and dont mind the jacka$$ comments. You can look through the members posts and find stupider questions...and tank setups.

i think that i will pick up a few more devils, let them form a pair then get rid of the rest, the pair would have the 170 to themselves does this sound ok?
This is the better plan. But keep a close eye on them for any signs of aggression. Have a divider or a spare tank on hand just in case. Sometimes a pair will form and spawn many times before one of them suddenly snaps and kills the other. I wish you the best.alexpie001;4921569;4921569 said:
thanks for the advice will try to get pics up, is there any other advice or recommendations you guys can give me
Just feed them with quality food and maintain their tank with good water changes.alexpie001;4921608;4921608 said:
how many should i get, remember i already have 2, to get a pair, and do i just put them in the tank all together at once or is there a special way i should do this?
